-Passion (I saw the DVD a few weeks ago and fell in love.) -Cabaret -Mack and Mabel (Even though I've heard the show was bad, I've always liked the cast recording.) -I also really wanted to see Souvenir before it closed, but didn't get a chance. I could go on for pages. I'm relatively young and haven't seen that much!

After seeing how incredible Eden Espinosa is in Wicked, I am sorry I never saw Brooklyn.I am also sorry I never got to see The Great American Trailer Park Musical or Sherie and Norbert in The Last Five Years.

Siren- Normal Heart was amazing. I would go again if it was still open...
TABOO!!! BRING BACK TABOO!!! *Although* when I spoke to Rosie after Fiddler, she said not to hope for a revival due to the poor relations between her and George But she did promise a "best of" the Rosie O'Donnell Show DVD out next year :P
AND BRING BACK ROCKY HORROR!!!!
I hold a degree in Musical Theatre from Montclair State University. It is useless. Now I'm funny for money. Oh, and I sing.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

I'm not sure which shows I most regret missing but here's one I wish I had NEVER seen:
The Producers
We went last weekend and it was absolutely the dullest production I've ever endured. Mind you, we began taking my 4 year old to LOCAL CHILDREN'S THEATRE this year, so that is saying something!!!
I am perfectly willing to go along with an enjoyable farce, but this show ran out of material 3 minutes in. There is simply not enough there to fill one act let alone two. And the two leads were PAINFUL to watch.
Unfortunately, we came in to NYC with 2 couples who have never been to a broadway show and after this very expensive disappointment they will never come again.
C is for Company and I also ask eachother this question.
At first my show was Les Mis but now I have seen different productions and cast recordings and I'm satisfied.
I'm really upset that I missed "A Raisin in the Sun," one of my favorite shows.

-I must tell you how much I agree. I saw the show in September and, while I enjoyed it, I was disappointed. After all of the hype surrounding it, it seemed like they were doing for the 4687845168765465th time. It felt long and the actors weren't into it, except Anige! She was the only redeeming thing about that show.

Miss Saigon- I remember always feeling like I was seeing something really professional as a youngster Aida- I still think it was one of the most entertaining shows Caroline or Change- wish I saw it, loooooove the OBC The Wild Party off-broadway- to see the ensemble (which consists of some of my favorite performers)
